CCNA Certification And CCENT Certification:
Take a look at the following configuration and answer these questions:
1. What's the escape sequence mentioned in the first line?
2. What two commands combined to create this output?
3. What is a more common name for "ICMP Echos"?
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.12.123.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 136/139/152 ms
R3#
IP: s=172.12.123.3 (local), d=172.12.123.2 (Serial0), len 100, sending
IP: s=172.12.123.1 (Serial0), d=172.12.123.3 (Serial0), len 56, rcvd 3
IP: s=172.12.123.2 (Serial0), d=172.12.123.3 (Serial0), len 100, rcvd 3
IP: s=172.12.123.3 (local), d=172.12.123.2 (Serial0), len 100, sending
Answers: The escape sequence is crtl-c. The two commands running are debug ip packet and ping 172.12.123.2 (the destination of the pings is indicated by "d="), and naturally the ICMP Echos are commonly called pings.
